The so far largely undocumented role of English in the linguistic transition from childhood to adolescence is analyzed through a fieldwork corpus of 15,465 utterances, collected during sociolinguistic interviews with 26 (12 bo…
Visiblement , adverbe de phrase évidentiel ou visiblement , adverbe de constituant exprimant la manière. La prosodie comme nouveau critère
Cette étude porte sur deux types d’emplois de visiblement , adverbe lié à la perception : un emploi comme adverbe de constituant (dit « endophrastique ») et son emploi comme adverbe de phrase (dit « exophrastique »). Nous caractérisons d’abord sémantiquement les deux emplois (respectivement comme un adverbe de manière liée à la perceptibilité et comme adverbe évidentiel d’inférence). Nous présentons et évaluons les divers tests et critères décrit…
